Random Fun

I am ALMOST caught up! Here are a few pictures and events that I couldn't pass

up writing about.  Most of them are about Payton Man of course (:

Payton's starting to really get upset and miss me when I leave. I hate it because I would MUCH rather stay home and play with him all day. This is what I had to leave one night when going to Relief Society meeting.. He says "Mommy stay here and eat p butter and jelly sandwich with me" Broke my heart..

But on the bright side I made up for it by promising him a set of these..

Chad wanted to go look at a big music store up in town and to my surprise Payton

wanted these. I never thought of Payton as a musical kid. My Granny bought him a kid piano

last year for his birthday and he plays it here and there but nothing serious..

These on the other hand.. he was attached. He kept clarifying they were "Baby Drums"

and just his size. Maybe he will get a set from Santa this year.

Last weekend some of the girls from church participated in a 

Walk for a Cure race, helping raise money for breast cancer. Our team name was the Stormin Mormins'! It was so much fun just walking and talking with a few of the girls. And helping for a cause at the same time. This really is a great bunch of girls!

I do not have a story behind this picture.. but isn't he adorable?!

One of our favorite things to do here while its nice and cool is bike rides. Sometimes resulting in a rewarding picnic. Luckily Payton still loves his cart to ride along in.. Daddy on the other hand has a bit of trouble pulling that heavy kid up mountains. West Virginia Mountains sure aren't anything like Texas..

Last Wednesday I had to take off work because Chad had finals all day. 

I didn't regret one minute of it! I had such a great time with my little guy! We met up with the girls from church and the kids and went to the Capitol Market and on a trolly ride. Capitol Market is great! I have never been to anything like it. It's like a strip mall selling health foods and homemade stuff. Super cool.  

They also sold tons of flowers outside. And if you know my Payton,

you know we had to smell..each...one... haha.

I haven't rode a trolly since I was a kid, so this was just as much fun for me 

as it was for him.. and he LOVED it. I also enjoyed getting to ride around

and explore the town without getting lost. We found tons of places we never knew about.

The driver was also excellent at giving us history and interesting facts along the way.

A friend from work gave Payton this new tricycle knowing it would

be to big, but thought maybe we could hold on to it until he fit.. 

Are you kidding me? Too big or not I can not get this kid off this thing..

who knew.. his feet work better than the peddles haha!!

This is how Payton enjoys our shopping trips to Hobby Lobby.. Relaxing in 

the back of the buggy playing with whatever cool craft he can find 

on the shelf.. this particular day it happened to be a wooden sun (:

Well that is how our April went. It went by so fast and I can't believe summer is here. Things did slow down for a few weeks and we were able to have some good family fun but they are about to get much worse. My classes start Tuesday so I will be working 9-5 then taking classes from 5:30-8.. It's going to be longgg days. But I know it will all be worth it in the end! Plus only 9 weeks until we head home to Texas for vacation!!!! YAH!!!!!
